Abstract

Background. Resveratrol, which belongs to a class of polyphenolic compounds called stilbenes, is proposed to have anti-aging effects.
Results. Objectives.
Objectives. This research has focused on the effects of resveratrol on oxidant/antioxidant systems and also copper and zinc concentrations in rats.
Material and Methods. The control group consisted of 12 male Wistar albino rats, 10–12 weeks of age, weighing approximately 279 g. The experimental group consisted of 12 male Wistar albino rats, in the same age, weighing 285 g. Before the experimental procedure, a training period was performed for control and experimental groups, systolic arterial blood pressures and heart rates were recorded. Body weights were measured also. The experimental group was administered resveratrol (20 mg/kg) in drinking water for six weeks. At the end of the study, blood glucose levels, red cell superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase activities, copper, zinc concentrations in plasma and red cells, also, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in plasma were determined in both groups.
Results. At the end of the study, statistically significant increases in SOD and catalase activities, and also in plasma copper and red cell zinc concentrations and statistically significant decreases in body weight, blood glucose, blood pressure, lipid peroxidation product MDA concentration and plasma zinc, red cell copper concentrations were found in resveratrol administered group.
Conclusion. Resveratrol administration affected oxidant/antioxidant systems and their cofactors significantly.

Streszczenie
Wprowadzenie. Resweratrol, który należy do związków polifenolowych zwanych stylbenami, może wywierać dzia- łanie przeciwstarzeniowe.
Cel pracy. Badania miały na celu ocenę wpływu resweratrolu na układ utleniacz/przeciwutleniacz, a także na stę- żenie miedzi i cynku u szczurów.
Materiał i metody. Grupa kontrolna składała się z 12 szczurów albinosów samców szczepu Wistar, w wieku 10–12 tygodni, o wadze około 279 g. Grupa doświadczalna składała się z 12 szczurów albinosów płci męskiej szczepu Wistar, w tym samym wieku, o wadze 285 g. Przed rozpoczęciem doświadczenia w grupie kontrolnej i badanej zmierzono skurczowe ciśnienie krwi i tętno, a także masę ciała. W grupie badanej podawano resweratrol (20 mg / kg) w wodzie do picia przez sześć tygodni. Na koniec badania w obu grupach oznaczono stężenie glukozy we krwi, dysmutazę ponadtlenkową (SOD) czerwonych krwinek, aktywność katalazy, stężenie miedzi i cynku w osoczu i czerwonych krwinkach, a także stężenie aldehydu malonowego (MDA) w osoczu.Wyniki. Na koniec badania wykryto statystycznie istotne zwiększenie aktywności katalazy i SOD, a także zwiększo- ne stężenie miedzi w osoczu i cynku w czerwonych krwinkach oraz statystycznie istotne zmniejszenie masy ciała, stężenia glukozy we krwi, ciśnienia krwi, stężenia produktu peroksydacji lipidów MDA, cynku w osoczu, miedzi w czerwonych krwinkach w grupie, w której podawano resweratrol.
Wnioski. Podawanie resweratrolu wpływa znacząco na układ utleniacz/przeciwutleniacz i ich kofaktory (Adv Clin
Exp Med 2013, 22, 2, 151–155).
